I just got their DSL service and its been great so far. We had a problem at first when the modem not wanting to sync but we ended up finding out we just had DSL on the wrong telephone line inside :\ . Download a bit slower then what were supposed to get.

::Update::
Download speeds are much slower then what we are paying to receive. Right now we are getting 500~Kbps download. We are paying for 1~Mb. The uploads are generally what we're paying for.
Update*****************
They increased there speed a couple of years ago by 3 megs. Service is also much more reliable. Getting 4 mbps down evenly or more at times. They've surpassed their former service by far. Still expensive for what your getting, but it is much much better than what it was. 45 dollars for 1 meg down was ridiculous. They new plan allows for a 5 dollar increase in price for an extra 1 mb down, totaling 5megs down. Which isn't bad considering it is only 5 extra.
